Term paper guidelines
Purpose of this term paper is to research a particular contemporary issue and critically analyze how it affects the Chicana/o community.

The term paper can earn you up to 50 points and is due on week 16.
Issue/topic for term paper: The topic of the term paper will be an issue of your choice. In the past, students have researched issues/topics such as immigration, education, labor, health and politics to name a few. The key to a successful topic/issue is one that you find most interesting and relevant . For example, if your family suffers from diabetes then your topic could be on how diabetes affects the Chicana/o Community.
Also, make sure your issue/topic is not too general for example a topic like “Chicanos in education” is too general and difficult to write. However, a topic like “ What makes Chicanos students successful at the community college is much more specific and easier to write.

The online or in person librarian could be a valuable resource when looking for this material.
